Margaret MacGillivray Genge
1924-2019
Margaret Ferguson MacGillivray
Genge.
Born and raised in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia as an only child
to Alexander and Nettie Fraser MacGillivray, Peggy loved to skate,
sing, dance and play the piano every chance she
got.
After graduating, she moved to Toronto and became a legal
secretary for 3 years in Toronto prior to moving on to Vancouver where
she met Gordon Genge, her husband for 25 years. After marriage, they
immigrated to the States to live in several New England States for 8
years where their 3 boys were born and raised prior to moving out to
Los Angeles where Gordon founded his successful
business.
The family moved to a beach home in 1967 and after her
children went off to school Peggy’s love for travel took her
to more than 100 different countries. She and Gordon separated in 1979
but Peggy stayed in Ventura County area for over 50 years where she
passed peacefully surrounded by her family a week after her 95th
birthday on July 29, 2019. She is survived by her sons Jeffry
Alexander, Christopher Gordon Fraser, and Gregory Paul Genge along
with three grandchildren, Gordon Alexander, Baily Michelle and Jeffry
Derek Genge who now all reside in California and
Mexico.
Peggy was a lot of fun and got to travel the world, but
always said she wanted to return to rest in Nova Scotia, joining her
mum and dad in Elgin. A graveside service will be held at 3 pm
Thursday, August 22, in Elgin Cemetery.
